Principal OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Fletcher.
While this department records the name of
but one pupil not absent or tardy, it is some
satisfaction to state that there are quite
number who were .'just SO near aud yet so
far and we sincerely hope that their record
for the present month may make more
ereditable showing. The work IN all depart
ments is reasonably satisfactory, and II we
could only get pupils to realize that they
cannot afford TO be absent during even q
single recitation. their rapid Improvement
would be insured.

OUR LOCAL NEWSLETTERS.
TIE NE VS. FROM an QUIRrERS or
PRESTON COUNTY

The following letter was received
in time for last weeks issue but in
our absence it was crowded out:

Having little time that l can de-
vote to writing, will send you few
lines.
crossed the Delaware in the beau.
tiful 'Wenona' steam ferry boat at
$40 p. m. on Monday last, and via
the West Jersey railroad arrived on
these beautiful grounds, l6 miles from
Camden, at about 4 p. m, where 1
found, instead of the ordinary camp
ground, a considerable sized town.
From one who has resided here for
about ten years learned that the
grounds embrace 1877 acres, more than
seven of which is thickly covered
over with handsome. substantial .wo.
story cottages-300 in number-nice.
ly painted. and with porticos, veran-
das or piazas finished in modern and
beautiful style.
The auditorium, which is in the
centre, is a substantial frame covered
with shingles and is about 60x135
feet, all nicely seated. On the out
side, all around, are several rows of
good seats with backs. The ground
occupied with the cottages is laid of
with eleven avenues or streets in the
form Of the spokes in wheel, so that
you can stand in the auditorium and
look up each avenue from the same
point by merely turning around. Ny
informant estimates that those cot
tages contain now not less than two
THOUSAND persons. In addition, there
is spacious frame building in the
form of (what l shall call) an oblong
Octagon, with three doors and, L think,
IL large windows enclosed with vene-
tian shutters. The walls are about
16 feet high, the roof running up
steep, and finished with two rows of
understanding like a railroad
shop. This building will seat, L think,
900 persons. In it the $50 morning
prayer meetings and some other meet
ings are held. The auditorium is
lighted with kind of material-the
name of which l have forgotten-very
much like gasoline. To light the au-
ditorium and grounds requires al
lamps. So you see this is a camp.
ground on a somewhat magnificent
scale. Thus far have spoken only
Of material things. The more i'm
portant matter is, we are having
most excellent meeting, one which
will, l verify believe, be far-reaching
in good results. But 1 find I must
stop short or else I will go beyond
the limits of q short letter.

One of the most terrible accidents
ever known in tue United States Oc-
cured near Ghatsworth Illinois, on
the line Of the Toledo Peoria and
Western Railroad on the morning of
the 18th inst. The engine and twelve
coaches loaded with a party of excur-
sionists to Niagara Falls went thro
a bridge, and it is estimated that
200 people were instantly killed and
as many more dangerously Injured.
The train caught FIRE and many pas
sengers were burned to death. The
cause of the accident is supposed to
be train wreckers.
